Heard a rumour that there are 2000 tickets held back for the general sale in the morning.

I heard that too but I also heard that nothing was being held back

rolexeagle1 · 05-06-2014 01:54PM

got 2x €100 in block M towards the front. Expensive for seats that far back but sure its expensive for UFC tickets anywhere. And its costs a bomb to get all the stuff over here, same with concerts etc

There will definitely be tickets held.

Chase3 · 05-06-2014 02:02PM

No idea who to believe but I heard the pre sale was 2000 tickets and the rest are for tomorrow.

Way more than 2000 sold in presale thats for sure.

Callanutd · 05-06-2014 02:18PM

Its more likely that there were at least 2000 in each presale. That is 2k for fight club, 2k for O2 and 2k for Newsletter.
Defo way more than 2000 total sold over the last two days. Im sure SBG sold a truckload to their members as well before any of the presales.

DrPhilG · 05-06-2014 02:22PM

Folks I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall...

Will there be tickets held? Maybe. And maybe not. At the end of the day there is no benefit to the UFC in that.

But what bugs me is people on here proclaiming there are "definitely" tickets held for the general sale, and quoting numbers etc.

Has anyone actually got solid evidence of experience of tickets being held for the general release? Because I have twice had definite evidence of a UFC event selling out in the presale alone.

I know Ireland is a damn sight smaller market than Vegas, but don't underestimate how much bigger the UFC is now that it was 5 years ago, and there's the Conor factor.

I'd just hate to see someone hold off til the general sale for tickets and end up screwed.

This is not a dig at anyone, and I hope I'm wrong.

Ticketmaster on either twitter or fCebook confirmed that there are tickets available tomorrow. How many they will have isn't confirmed but they have tickets and some will be on sale in the morning.

DrPhilG · 05-06-2014 02:36PM

Ticketmaster are linked with stubhub. The more traffic they direct to their own site, the more business they will hope to redirect to stubhub when it sells out.

As I say, I have a lot of experience with Ticketbastard and with the Fight Club.

Both are useless, and both are lying hoores.

Don't trust either of them.

nxbyveromdwjpg · 05-06-2014 02:39PM

Seated capacity of the o2 is 9,500 - there will 100% be tickets tomorrow, the general sale is probably the biggest one

ianob7 · 05-06-2014 02:39PM

I heard from a friend who spoke to somebody in ticketmaster that there is only a couple of hundred left and that you can't buy at a ticketmaster outlet only online

Callanutd · 05-06-2014 02:41PM

Yeah its confirmed that you can only buy online tomorrow. That is direct from Ticketmaster.

And there is my point in a nutshell.

Vague speculation reported as fact.

The Mandalay Bay holds around 14,000 and sold out in about an hour, all during the presale. General release never got a sniff..

Proof of the MB selling out in the pre-sale?

Working a treat reporting the ads on donedeal. Asshole touts;

"Thank you for taking the time to bring this ad to our attention.

I was buying. And I was regular on the Fight Club forum, lots of people missed out despite being FC members. The touts had a field day. I ended up spending $300 on a seat after going in looking for $100s.

DrPhilG · 05-06-2014 03:06PM

Says here that some lasted to the presale, I suspect that was the occasional single or cancellation. I remember FC members trying the newsletter presale after the FC one had sold out and still ended up with nothing.

Either way it should dispel the notion that tickets are always kept for he general release, let alone the majority as some have claimed.

Swashbuckler · 05-06-2014 03:11PM

Either way we'll find out tomorrow I guess. Regardless, I think it's crazy passing up a ticket today in the hope of getting a better one tomorrow. I didn't get the tickets I wanted today but I took what I was offered without hesitating. There will be an awful lot of disappointed people tomorrow. And the touts will have a field day.

MartyMcFly84 · 05-06-2014 03:32PM

Not a chance would I pass up a ticket today for the slim chance of maybe getting one tomorrow.

So many people will be lining up for the last few remaining tickets, i'm guessing they will go in 10-15mins

B_Rabbit · 05-06-2014 03:44PM

TICKETS NOT ON SALE THROUGH TICKETMASTER AGENTS.

ONLINE ONLY.

The newsletter ones were gone in 3 mins today. I'd say even less tomorrow

bennyl10 · 05-06-2014 07:50PM

Do we think therell be cheap.ones tomorrow.or all 100+

scudzilla · 05-06-2014 07:57PM

I finished work (Nights) at 7am yesterday morning, went for a short nap when got home, was gonna wake for the 10am FC presale, woke at 11 and all tickets under 100 had gone, tried again this morning, gone again.

I could have bought the 150euro one's but at 300 for the both of us no way am i paying that, hopefully pick some up nearer the date but if i don't i aint gonna lose any sleep.

Am i pissed off? Slightly, due to the fact that people without a fcukin clue of MMA have got tickets just to be 'with' it, am i gonna lose any sleep? Nah, it's been a long time since i fell for Zuffa's trap of paying big money for poor cards

cletus · 05-06-2014 08:46PM

I spent 45 minutes on ticketmaster this morning searching for tickets. I got what I was looking for once (2x€75 tickets) after about 15 minutes, but lost them when i didnt have a ticketmaster account, username and password. Despite searching for another 30 mins constantly, I was not offered any more tickets.

Setting up an account tonight in the vague hope of actually getting general release tickets

Sean Quagmire · 05-06-2014 09:19PM

^^ Jaysus yeah that happened me. prompted me to set up an account right before paying for the tickets. went through the whole set up then realised i had an account. god only knows how i guessed my old password and got in time to buy the tickets. WHY THE FCK DON'T THEY TELL YOU BEFORE THAT YOU NEED TO BE LOGGED IN?!

Good luck getting tickets lads shame to see genuine fans miss out

That_Guy · 05-06-2014 09:43PM

Refreshing to see that Done Deal have done the admirable thing and removed those ads. Also refreshing to see sound people sell tickets at face value.

I'll keep my ear to the ground too. Local barman I get on very well with is big into MMA and knows some people from Ryano/SBG. I'll be heading down in a bit for a pint with a mate. If he's working I'll ask him and get back to you lot if there's any floating about.

IrelandDylan · 05-06-2014 10:00PM

Anyone know if you need to do that Verified by Visa thing when buying tickets with a card?

Yes you do

The Ayatolla · 05-06-2014 10:22PM

Got my tickets anyway. Never been to a UFC PPV before.

Will we see the likes of Chuck the Iceman Liddell and Ken Shamrock at this? Or is it just that Irish fella?
